Import Tips
• Include bill of lading notations confirming 'for oil stock use only' and general note 15 eligibility to support classification
• Test for aflatoxin levels as common pitfall; exceeding limits leads to rejection even if properly classified
• Use licensed customs brokers familiar with agricultural quotas to navigate peanut import restrictions
